Rune Factory Frontier
This is the first Rune/Harvest Moon game making it to a console and it is very well
suited for the action of the Wii. No need to be knowledgeable with the history of the
other Harvest-Rune games - this one is perfectly accessible from the git-go. The game
still hews to is agrarian roots - tilling, planting, harvesting, cooking, husbanding -
animals - not girls right away. Although there are plenty of eager females casting an eye
on Raguna. I counted up the numbers - an 8 to 1 female ratio to the hero. I can't tell if
this pleases the boy or girl players.
Days are 24 minutes long but you can easily work or party up to 5 AM. But farming and
socializing isn't all that goes on in these Rune games. There are now monsters to
vanquish and/or tame. The town is comfortably large - a business district, a south end -
pub, store, homestead, a church section, a beach and the amazing suspended whale island
in the sky. Note: its important to start at the church as the first favor will progressively
open up the town for you. The game is vast, the graphics, elegant and it is filled with
fantasy and action. The game will please both Rune and Harvest Moon
players.
